CelebrateGreece.com again proudly covered the Annual Los Angeles Greek Film Festival, which took place during five days in Hollywood, California at the Egyptian Theater, The Linwood Dunn Theater, the Spielberg Theatre at the Egyptian, and the Silver Screen Theater in the Pacific Design Center.

The Festival featured over 30 feature films, documentaries and shorts, many as World Premieres. This wonderful annual festival was created under co-directors Angeliki Giannakopoulos (MY CHILD: MOTHERS OF WAR, 2006) and Ersi Danou. CelebrateGreece.com’s own CYNTHIA DADDONA graced the red carpet on Opening and Closing Nights interviewing established celebrities and the Greek stars of Hollywood’s tomorrow.

OPENING NIGHT festivities featured a restored print of the classic ZORBA THE GREEK, winner of four Academy Awards in 1964, starring Anthony Quinn. After the showing, Chairman of 20th Century-Fox Filmed Entertainment JIM GIANOPULOS talked to the sold-out audience at Hollywood's Grauman's Egyptian Theater about the restoration of Zorba and how the famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright discouraged a young, wannabe architect named Anthony Quinn. The rest is history. Mr. Gianopulos said he considered Zorba the Greek to be the "crown jewel" of the Fox movie library.
